The year is 1987, Danielle is the “bad
girl” of Norman High School in Oklahoma.
She’s in trouble again and sent to the principle, he sends her to the
special education class. The class
splits up into teams to experience being parents using a bag of flour to represent
a baby. Danielle and her chubby
35% gay partner Clarke are not very successful in the beginning. Danielle doesn’t want to become part of
a Mormon family when her mom marries.
Clarke doesn’t want to go to military school. They run away taking their baby with them in Clarke’s dad’s
car. They use his dad’s credit
card to finance a trip to California to meet Danielle’s dad.
This is funny but has a serious side
too. Danielle has a vintage red
Mustang convertible; this brings her credibility up several notches. She can snap her fingers and attract
the cute and popular guys until she’s paired with Clarke. Everything changes for both of them on
their trip. 4* (I really liked
this movie)
90 min, Comedy directed by Abe Sylvia
with Jeremy Dozier, Juno Temple, Zach Lasry, Johanthan Slavin, Marcella
Lentz-Pope, Mary Steenburgen, Milla Jovovich.
Note: Blockbuster 2 ½*, imdb 6.2 out of 10, 27% critic 79% audience
on Rotten Tomatoes.
Special Note: The hairstyles of Mary Steenburgen and Mill Jovovich are
worth a look at this movie. The
stock of hairspray companies must have doubled during the filming!! I could not take my eyes off their hair
in all their scenes.
